Here is a wonderful new blog by a kind reader, Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin, a real estate broker and history teacher from Montevideo, Uruguay. A scion of the Swedes who followed King Sigismund III and his descendants to Poland between 1587 and 1659, and participated in the struggles between the Protestant and Catholic branches of the House of Vasa, he discusses the fascinating heritage of the Poles of Swedish ancestry.
